The Greek-originated word "holotrop" (which may be translated into "striving for the whole"), was first used by the prominent Czech psychologist Stanislav Grof – the creator of transpersonal psychology and a pioneer of research into therapeutical applications of altered states of consciousness. It was his concept that inspired the name of the ritualistic psychedelic project of Tino Seibt, who draws on Grof's ideas, shamen's knowledge and his own trips, both in the real world and the psychedelic ones, as well as teachings of altered states of consciousness, to try using sounds and music to evoke visions in normal conditions unattainable by the human psyche. Thanks to the unique combination of sounds of electronic and acoustic instruments, Holotrop explores the boundaries between reality and dream, intellect and feelings, ecstasy and meditation.

On DECONSTRUCTION MENTALE, the third part of the Transpersonal Musick series, returns Holotrop back to the inner path of self knowledge and leads the listener slowly into the depths of human nature.The album is shaped by a consequent development of Holotrop´s sound to more spheric and complex sound structures. Layered drones mixed with celestial chants merge to a lucid presence where past and future are anymore tangible.A journey into the inner cave of existence, where we stand alone, thrown back, naked and isolated.
